Title: Assessment of Administrative
Costs of Electronic Healthy Incentives
Projects.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is
authorized to collect data under Section
17 of the Food and Nutrition Act of
2008, which authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to contract with private
institutions to undertake research that
will help improve the administration

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in
delivering nutrition-related benefits.
The Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP),
administered by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS),
distributes benefits to eligible lowincome households through Electronic
Benefits Transfer (EBT) card technology.
In Fiscal Year 2023 FNS awarded
grants to three States, Colorado,
Louisianna, and Washington for
implementing Electronic Healthy
Incentives Projects (eHIP) to leverage
EBT integration to deliver financial
incentives at point of purchase to SNAP
households when they purchase
qualifying foods (e.g., fruits and
vegetables).
Need and Use of the Information: The
aim of this study is to calculate the costs
of eHIP in the three States to determine
the startup and ongoing costs of
administering incentives to SNAP
households through EBT integration and
to estimate the cost of administering
eHIP at scale. The study will quantify
startup and ongoing administrative costs
to State grantees, retailers, and other
eHIP stakeholders. It will also compare
administrative costs to the amount of
funding distributed as incentives. In
addition, existing national data (such as
SNAP caseloads and SNAP-authorized
retailers) and State data from nonproject States (such as State wage rates)
will be examined in order to estimate
the cost of nationwide expansion of
eHIP. Lastly, data from select Gus
Schumacher Nutrition Incentive
Program (GusNIP) grantees—that do not
use EBT integration for delivering
incentives to SNAP households for
purchasing fruits and vegetables will be
examined to estimate the costs and
return on investment (ROI) of GusNIP
and compare these to the eHIP costs and
ROI, in order to provide information on
how these two incentive delivery
modalities differ in costs and economic
impact.
